Online Sources:
Citations for online sources, like those for print sources, should provide information that both
identifies a source and allows that source to be located and retrieved again. All citations should
include the medium of publication (Web) and the date the content was accessed. If the source is
difficult to locate or your instructor requires a URL, list the complete address within angle
brackets after the date. In many cases, it is also necessary to identify the Web site or database that
has made the material available online.
Because there are currently few standards that govern the organization and presentation of online
publications, the information that is available to fulfill these objectives can vary widely from
resource to resource. In general, references to online works require more information than
references to print sources.
See sections 5.6.1-4 in the MLA Handbook for more complete information on creating citations
for online sources.
